About 100 people attend vigil in Plaza

A group of about 100 people formed a circle in the downtown Plaza de la Constitucion, standing silent in support of Cindy Sheehan and in protest of the Iraq war.

Ron Zamora helped organize the candlelight vigil through MoveOn.org, which organized more than 1,600 vigils all over the country.

"We're just standing in support of Cindy, but also to support American men and women who are over there risking their lives," said Zamora.

Cindy Sheehan's son, Casey, died in Iraq last year.

She has been protesting outside George Bush's Crawford, Texas, ranch, asking to meet with him.

Many of those at the candlelight vigil in the plaza had also lost family members to the war.

Richard Bachlund wore a pendant with his grandson's photo on it -- a U.S. Marine who died from injuries sustained after he was in Iraq just two weeks.

Bachlund said he was always against the war, but the death of his grandson strengthened his position.

"We were mislead from the beginning," he said. "There should have been more talk instead of action."

He attended the vigil for some kind of closure, he said, and also "to communicate to the leaders of the nation that they should rethink what they're doing. They need to look for more peaceful solutions."
